Dirt Bike Riding Tips And TechniquesIf you're after some solid dirt bike riding tips... then read on. The best thing I ever did to improve my riding was ask for advice from more experienced riders. And if your riding ability isn't where you want it to be... then this will be one of the best things you can do too, to improve your skills and ability on the track or trail.
There are so many small things that the pros do that make them so incredibly quick and smooth. I'm not going to pretend I know what they all are, but I will share some fundamental dirt bike riding tips that I have learned from experienced riders and motocross schools... beginning with your standing position. Your body position on your bike is the first thing you need to get right. When I started riding, I used to sit down a lot with my elbows dropped and I'd get nailed over rough ground. You see these poor twits around occasionally - getting thrown around like rag-dolls. Most of your riding (esp. over rough, hard terrain) should be done in the standing position. Just watch the pros and you'll see why. To do this...
Practice riding like this over rough terrain and watch your speed, control and enjoyment increase!
When riding in the sand or mud, your body position changes. Your weight should be to the back of the bike to prevent the front wheel from bogging and throwing you over the bars. This will also give you greater traction. You will need to be hard on the gas to keep the bike gliding over the sand.

I've been advised by much better riders than myself to concentrate on my technique rather than speed. If you get the technique right, the speed will come naturally. And you'll be much faster than you otherwise would've been... and safer!
